Raise your hand if... πŸ‘€

you're an S-Corp owner and you picked your salary because:

πŸ’­ β€œIt seemed reasonable.”
πŸ’­ β€œThat's what I could afford.”
πŸ’­ β€œThat's what I've always paid myself.”
πŸ’­ β€œMy friend pays herself that much.”
..you're definitely not alone. And no we aren't trying to get your in trouble.

But none of those things actually document why your salary is reasonable.

Instead of finding a number that just sounds good, a Reasonable Compensation Analysis helps when understanding the rules, looking at the available data, and making a decision you can support.

And that's especially important when the IRS has specific rules around S-Corp owner compensation.

You don't need to be afraid of the rules. You just need to understand them. πŸ’™

So... how do you actually determine whether an S-Corp owner's salary is β€œreasonable”? πŸ€“

I'm so glad you asked!

A proper analysis considers multiple factors, including:

🏒 Industry: What do similar positions pay?
πŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό Role: What are you actually doing in the business?
⏰ Hours: How much time are you putting into the company?
πŸ“Š Comparable wages: What does the market pay someone doing similar work?
πŸ’Ό Business circumstances: What else about the business and your role should be considered?

The important part is looking at the whole picture, not grabbing one salary number from a Google search and calling it good. ( Though we understand why this is tempting...)

YOUR business is unique. Your compensation analysis should account for that.

Parents, Have You Heard About These New Accounts? πŸ‘€

The OBBBA introduced a new tax-advantaged savings vehicle for minors, and there are a couple of pieces you'll want to understand.

One provision allows contributions of up to $5,000 per year for a child's account, even though the child doesn't have earned income.

There's also a potential $1,000 government contribution for eligible children born in 2025 or later.

🚨 S-Corp owners, did you know?

The IRS pays attention to how S-Corporation owners determine their compensation because S-Corp owners can receive both salary and distributions, and those payments don't receive the same tax treatment.

That creates an incentive for some owners to keep their salary artificially low and take more money as distributions.

Which is exactly why the IRS looks at whether compensation is reasonable.

Don't worry! This doesn't mean you should panic. It just means you should plan. 😊

If you're paying yourself a salary without any documentation explaining why that salary is reasonable, there's an opportunity to strengthen your records before you ever have a problem.

Being proactive is almost always more comfortable than trying to reconstruct your reasoning later.

Crypto Investors!!! Your Tax Reporting Is Changing.

If you've bought, sold, or traded cryptocurrency, you're going to want to pay attention to the new 1099-DA.

Crypto reporting is becoming more formal, with digital asset transactions moving toward reporting that's more similar to what investors already see with traditional brokerage accounts.

That means keeping good records of your crypto transactions, purchases, and transfers is more important than ever.

πŸŽƒβ˜• Warning! Bree is a little obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes.

So, if you ever hear her explaining something in terms of β€œabout 12 pumpkin spice lattes” instead of dollars, hours, or percentages... don't panic. Just go with it. πŸ˜‚

The PSL-based measurements ARE seasonal. Eventually, they will pass... but it might not be til the peppermint mochas show up. πŸ‘€

Did you pick your S-Corp owner salary based on one of the following? πŸ‘€

β€œI can afford to pay myself this much.”
β€œThis is what my accountant did last year.”
β€œI just picked a number.”
β€œI'll figure it out later.”

Totally understandable, BUT!

Your S-Corp salary is something you should be able to explain and support.

A Reasonable Compensation Analysis gives you documentation showing how your salary was determined using factors such as your role, industry, hours worked, and comparable compensation data.

That's valuable because you're not just choosing a number! You're actually creating a defensible reason for the number you chose in case of an audit.

Good tax planning isn't about crossing your fingers and hoping everything works out.

It's about making informed decisions... and documenting them.

πŸ“… If you own an S-Corp and haven't documented your compensation, let's talk.
